Wood Trim around Windows and Doors
Good morning folks, just thought I'd give you a little update on the trim work we are presently undertaking. My hubby did the floor trim in the master bedroom and living room right after we moved in, but we still had plenty yet to do. Funny... we pondered on whether to move out of our falling down trailer and into our new home early without having finished the trim, some painting and grouting of tile, etc OR waiting till EVERYTHING was done before we moved in. We agreed that we would get our new home done and not slow down if we moved in early... well, seems we just had to have around a 6 month break after we moved in. Folks, we just rested and enjoyed being here and didn't worry about finishing the grout, painting, and trim :) Doing this yourself is hard work, especially if you have a full time job.
But lately we've got back in the groove so to speak and off our rumps and are reporting for duty.
Now hubby and a friend have been finishing the trim around the windows and doors as well as the floor trim in 2 bedrooms. We got a great deal on 1 x 2's to use for our trim. Now I said that hubby and a friend are putting up the trim but my job is sanding, staining and sealing. I just stained this trim around the pantry door last night and I think it looks great but hubby informed me this morning that we need another coat. The stain is Minwax natural #209 and the poly I will use is clear satin.
